Regional Dream Girl Competition
Can somebody tell me in detail "exactly" how this process works. I'm not competing. I am trying to find out if a brother might have duped a girl into going out of town to an affiliate chapter to get her alone away from friends and family. Thank you~!

Without saying the chapter, which fraternity?

Pikes have "Dream Girls" but it's local by chapter and I wouldn't exactly call it a competition or pageant. I've never heard of a regional Dream Girl, in fact I'm not even sure how that would even work. I have been alum for a few years now so who knows what those kids are up to these days.

LaneSig and Pika2001,
The fraternity was Theta Chi, and the "incident" occurred before you were conceived
The Red Carnation Ball is an event in which the Dream Girl is crowned (by the chapter). So in order to compete in a "regional" competition, certainly the girl must first be elected by the local chapter, right?
I need more history on this.

Wow, this sounds like a "remember when" that cropped up on Facebook and is now causing all sorts of time-delayed hullabaloo.
In any national sweetheart competition I've heard of, yes, the local chapters sent their chapter sweetheart to compete.

I think she meant that's what it SOUNDS like and not referring to your specific situation being on Facebook.

Why don't you just ask him?
This post sounds like a made-for-TV movie plot.

Actually, I've heard of both PiKA and Sigma Chi having Dream Girl/Sweetheart competitions. The chapters' selections would compete against the other chapters in the district, then state, then regional, then the US. IIRC, in the retro photo thread, there's even a picture of the national Sweetheart of Sigma Chi - I do know that Joan Kennedy was one.

No, no... it just sounds like this came from one of those offhand comments, coming out of years of forgetting who knew what.
Susie: "That spare bedroom was so gross."
Jennie: "I still can't believe that time that Booger and Shelly did it in there."
Susie: "Shelly WHAT??? Did WHAT???"
Jennie: "Oh crap. I thought everyone knew that."

Sorry - Urban myth. Joan Kennedy might have been a chapter Sweetheart, but was never a national Sweetheart.

Hmmm... it's a very oft-told urban legend then, because I was able to find at least six references to it via google, without really even trying. A woman named Dot Grover from Syracuse seems to have been the epitome of the "national Sweetheart of Sigma Chi". Another woman is named Mary Jane Walker, from Michigan State.
Maybe it's a very old tradition? I don't remember hearing much about it at my school. but I do remember seeing candidates in the Adelphean.
ETA: International Sweetheart from 2005.
And from GreekChat!
